Shooting in all seasons and from dawn to dusk, the photos in New York Air capture the complexity of 21st-century New York. Steinmetz records some of the city’s beloved traditions—such as the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, the New York marathon, and the U.S. Open—but what makes his photographs special is their surprising intimacy, as they capture New Yorkers going about their lives in their remarkable city.
